I will be taking a little break before my beautiful girls start school, but wanted to leave you with something before I part. Hope you enjoy and have a great week ahead! —————– I was feeling adventurous at the wrong time of the day. It was after work, no dinner yet… I wanted to make [...]
I made this salad as a a side when I prepared lentils pilaf known as “Mujedereh.” Sorry don’t have any pics of the Mujadereh since I did not take any pictures the first time I made this… I will share it one of these days. We normally make cabbage salad on the side [...]
I sometimes feel drained from work that I am toooo tired to think of what we are having for dinner. However, sometimes when I feel rushed is when I start making up a recipe as I go. Here is quick dinner idea that turned out well. I used frozen Alaskan salmon that can be [...]
